Sandman,

I am reluctant to recommend the Suzuki 140's for your situation. I have 115's on my 78 master cc and they work fine for me. 4k rpm's=25.5 kts or 29.3mph and wot at 5950 at 37.5kts or 43mph. I feel very comfortable running these motors all day at 4600 rpm's and I still get close to 3mpg and a speed of about 32kts or 36 1/2 mph. Bumping up to 140's offers little displacement gain so your hole shot would be the same as mind and surely a disappointment from v6's but nonetheless faster than a single 225 or 250. As far as speed, the Suzuki 140's, would probably cruise at 27kts at 4k and top at 39-40kts. This is merely a guess as I have not seen reports. There are numbers floating around on a 25 ft Dusky with twins 140's and it topped at 45mph if I remember quick but that hull probably weighs 3800. The new yellowfin 23 made here in sarasota is one bad bitch rated up to twin 200's. Strangely enough guys are passing up the traditional twin v6's and hanging the 140 suzuki's for about 49-50mph. If you wait for twin etec's it will be a year+ and mucho dinero. Twin HPDI or Ficht 150-175's are probably the way to go in your case. Good luck.
